High Bridge is a borough in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, United States. As of the United States 2000 Census, the borough population was 3,776.

Water from the South Branch was a valuable power source for one of the first ironworks(Taylor Wharton) in the United States, established by William Allen and Joseph Turner of Philadelphia. The Central Railroad of New Jersey built a high bridge (112' high and 1300' long) across the river from which structure the locality ultimately took its name. The Borough was officially formed from the now-defunct High Bridge Township in 1898
